Detection of the organophosphorus nerve agent soman by an ELISA using monoclonal antibodies

The development of a specific and sensitive immunologic ELISA detection system for methylphosphonoflouridic acid. 1,2,2-trimethylpropylester (soman) by the use of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) is described. The monoclonal antibodies F71D7, F71H10, F71B12 and F71H9 originally produced against the soman derivative methyl phosphonic acid,p-aminophenyl 1,2,2-trimethylpropyldiester (MATP) also reacted with soman in a previously developed, direct competitive ELISA. After optimizing the ELISA system by varying the reaction mixture and the solvents for the organophosphate, 5.0×10^–7 mol/l soman (80% purity), e.g. 2.5 ng or 2 ng pure soman per 25 l test buffer, could be detected after a total test duration of 40 min. A shortening of the incubation time to 10 min resulted in a drop of sensitivity to 1.8×10^–6 mol/l soman. Various alcohols which may be used as extraction media for soman from various materials (isopropanol, ethanol and methanol) were shown to inhibit peroxidase activity and thereby reduce the sensitivity of the test. However, the influence of alcohols decreased with the shortening of incubation time. All monoclonal antibodies showed little cross reactivity to sarin and no cross reactivity to tabun and VX. Judging on the reactivity of the MAbs with MATP and soman oxidazed by 1,2-dihydrobenzol, some reactivity with some other (non-toxic) soman analogues containing the same pinacolyl group can be expected. There was no evidence for stereoselectivity of the MAbs tested. Finally, soman could be detected in different biological samples like human serum, goat serum, rabbit serum, chicken serum, milk, and tap water in concentrations between 1.3×10^–6 and 2.0×10^–6 mol/l.     

四乙基胺抑制蟾酥的强心效应

[目的]观察蟾酥对离体蟾蜍心脏收缩运动的影响和各种受体阻断剂、钾通道阻断剂对这种效应的影响。[方法]将离体蟾蜍心脏收缩运动用张力换能器转换成电信号,通过Doctor-95 Super Lab软件系统在电脑上连续记录心率和收缩力的变化,并打印成曲线。[结果]取自蟾蜍同体耳后腺的蟾酥对离体蟾蜍心脏收缩运动有增强作用。M受体阻断剂阿托品（0.5g/L)和β受体阻断剂心得安（0.01g/L)不能阻断蟾酥对离体蟾蜍心脏收缩运动的增强作用,而α受体阻断剂酚妥拉明（0.5g/L)、非选择性钾通道阻断剂四乙基胺（10mmol/L)则明显抑制蟾酥对离体蟾蜍心脏收缩运动的增强作用。[结论]蟾酥是通过α受体作用于钾通道而增强离体蟾蜍心脏收缩运动。

The effects of neuroleptic and tricyclic compounds on BKCa channel activity in rat isolated cortical neurones

1. The actions of several neuroleptic and tricyclic compounds were examined on the large conductance Ca²⁺-activated K⁺ (BK_Ca) channel present in neurones isolated from the rat motor cortex.
2. Classical neuroleptic compounds including chlorpromazine and haloperidol applied to the intracellular surface of inside-out patches produced a concentration-dependent reduction in BK_Ca channel activity. Similar effects were observed when these compounds were applied to the extracellular surface of outside-out patches.
3. In contrast, the atypical neuroleptic compounds clozapine and sulpiride did not affect BK_Ca channel activity (100 nM–1 mM) in either inside-out or outside-out patches, while 10 μM pimozide produced 73% of the inhibition produced by 10 μM chlorpromazine.
4. BK_Ca channel activity was also unaffected by application of structurally related tricyclic compounds including the anti-cholinesterase tacrine and the anti-epileptic carbamazepine. The tricyclic antidepressant drug amitriptyline was found to inhibit BK_Ca channel activity but was much less effective than the classical neuroleptic compounds.
5. It is concluded that compounds belonging to the classical neuroleptic group of drugs inhibit BK_Ca channel activity in the rat motor cortex in a structurally-specific manner. This observation may be of clinical significance as it may contribute to some of the side effects associated with classical neuroleptic drug therapy.

Benign and malignant hepatocellular tumors: evaluation of tumoral enhancement after mangafodipir trisodium injection on MR imaging

The aim of this work was to study the ability of mangafodipir trisodium (Mn-DPDP)-enhanced MR imaging in differentiating malignant from benign hepatocellular tumors. Eleven patients with pathologically proved hepatocellular carcinomas, six with focal nodular hyperplasias, and one with a single hepatocellular adenoma were examined by spin-echo and gradient-echo T1-weighted sequences before, 1 h after, and 24 h after intravenous injection of Mn-DPDP (5 μmol/kg). Quantitative analysis including enhancement and lesion-to-liver contrast-to-noise ratio, and qualitative analysis including the presence of a central area and a capsule were done on pre- and post-Mn-DPDP-enhanced images. Enhancement was observed in all the tumors with significant improvement (p < 0.05) in contrast-to-noise ratio 1 h after, and 24 h after intravenous injection of Mn-DPDP. There were no significant differences in the mean enhancement and the mean contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) between benign and malignant tumors. No enhancement was seen within internal areas observed in 7 hepatocellular carcinomas, and in 5 focal nodular hyperplasias, and within capsules which were observed in 9 hepatocellular carcinomas. In our study, Mn-DPDP increased CNR of both benign and malignant tumors but did not enable differentiation between benign and malignant tumors of hepatocellular nature.
